(00:00):
Let's do this dash and you seethumps. I wake up every morning Boston
is the only classic rock morning show. I look at myself at the mirror
and I go me, I'm dreaming, ayb I'm a weak dreaming nam as
Leek with Pete McKenzie. I'm stillvomit before every show and they forth until
dirty and unsatisfied, and Kenny Young, let's get crazy. In other words,

(00:25):
I'm crazy on one point seven.I want you to go hard,
fast, heavy, get to it. Here's to the future. Will you
see Lex Good? Right? Yes, indeed, it is Friday, five
thirty two, on this twelfth ofApril, fifty eight degrees. It's a
little Bomby out of doors. I'mKenny O. Let me give you a

(00:46):
little advice. There's three rules thatI live by. Never get less than
twelve hours sleep. Never played cardswith a guy who's got the same first
name as a city. Never gonear a lady who's got a tattoo of
a dagger on her body. Nowyou stick with that. Everything else is
cream cheese. You'll give watched themovie is zillion times? Yes, you
have teen Wolf. Oh yeah,I was like, why do I know

(01:07):
that such a I don't know whythat popped into my head recently, but
I was like The Coach and TeenWolf. I loved that movie when I
was a kid. Oh gotta lovethat before we get to you, Heather
Ford, because you have the ultimateFriday closer and he's open so that that
guy over there is Pete McKenzie.Let's keep it in order. Then,
what's up guy? What are youdoing nothing? Let's watch a Scarlet Johansson

(01:32):
movie. Is a superhero. She'sall sorts of things, but she's got
great boots. She's got like oneof the best. She's got like the
best wreck in Holly Beautiful Smile.She was a beautiful woman. Yes,
yeah, beautiful woman, Yes sheis. Who is she with Colin jos

(01:55):
who we had in studio like rightbefore they got together? Did week?
Yeah? Was he only a comedytour so yeah? I think so.
I mean he's not from here,He's from uh Staten Island, so but
yeah, we had him in studio. He was very nice. Oh,
heatherfored you feel like doing some singingon a Friday? Sing it? Let's
go. I don't want to knowbad meat. I don't want nobody with

(02:24):
me in the sas, ain't nobodygot time, Ain't nobody, Ain't nobody
got time? Yeah? Yeah,she was a three day weekend. I
feel like that song would mean somuch more if it was like, you

(02:44):
know what, the three of usaren't going to come in Monday, and
let's just think about what that woulddo. If the three of us were
like, you know what, we'resick. I know, right, marathon,
Monday, Patriots Day, evacuation Day, and we don't get any of
them off. But that's not thething stinks. Let's look at the three
of us and then the three ofus don't come in on Monday, what
happens nothing. I feel like wehave a stranglehold that we don't realize we

(03:07):
have. I mean, Kenny doesfor sure. Our promotions director will be
out of town, our program directorwill be out of town. Carter and
Chuck, that's it, that's it, that's all. Yeah. I was
just thinking, I mean, ifeither one of them are running a marathon.
No, although Chuck has right onceyou ran it once, I think
he's run it once or twice.Yeah, yeah, I think he's run

(03:29):
I think I asked him about that. Yeah, you know, it's lay
every year it's the same from likefamily and friends. I seem to get
the same question every year you're runningit. No, you're off Monday,
right. I have not had aPatriots Day marathon Monday off in over twenty
seven years. Oh yeah, Andit used to be fun though, Like
we used to work that day,and if we were at the PREW,

(03:51):
we were at the finish line festival. And if well, you mean your
show was way after the marathon ended, but if we were after the fin
after the PREW, we were atJS. Like it used to be like
a kind of a fun day.Except those days. Pete used to end
with a two mile walk rain orshine back to our cars, do you
remember. Yeah, but that thatwasn't the end of my day. Usually
I'd get in my car and godown to Boston from two to four for

(04:13):
the finish line. Yeah, ohthat's right. Yeah, yeah. I
always had a bar there with allthe yeah, with all the people wrapped
in foil, and it was fun. The salmon wandering around there standing up.
Yeah. I actually asked Adam,are we doing anything marathon Monday?
Nope, nope, nope, cricketsout of the picture. Crickets. Nice,

(04:35):
just be nice. Too. OnMonday. Times have changed. On
our way, it looked like midsixties. Oh it looks beautiful. Yeah,
great for the spectators. I don'tknow about the runners. I'm not
a runner, so I don't know. Is that great weather bad weather?
No? I think it's it wouldbe nicer if it was like fifty five
and cloudy for the runners. That'sprobably optimal with a little low wind,
yeah, like a little bit ofa chill, but not really a chill,

(04:56):
cloudy, Yeah, I mean,I I don't know. Some people
run best when they're sweating their ballsoff, and some people run best when
they're cold, you said, Ihaven't seen pictures or details, but I
saw a headline that said that thereas they prepare all weekend for the marathon
along the race route, there's likenew barricades being installed. I don't know.
Well, I mean that's good forthe safety feature. But yeah,

(05:19):
but no kissing now, but makingout with runners, and I think that
stopped a few years ago. Right, they asked people to stop kissing runners.
Oh right, because of the COVID, Well, COVID and just safety
reasons. I don't know. Ihave no idea about the kissing of the
runners. I've kissed like four peoplein my life that aren't a relative.
I wonder, I wonder if thereare people who like guys who are like,

(05:41):
this is I'm going to train forthis marathon because there's going to be
a hot college chick who's going tohave a sign that says kiss me,
and I'm going to get to kissher. And so they trained for an
entire marathon just for that one moment. I wonder if anyone's ever done that,
you know, if that's ever happened. Richard Dawson, Yeah, delate
Richard. So uh, there issomething that happened in Framingham that kind of

(06:04):
did you I know the street,okay, well I'm sorry, my buddy
Fran lives over that way. Wellno, I mean and this person was
stabbed, so right, and thensomething and then someone who they don't know
who called nine one one, Andthen was that the person who did the
stabbing was that the person who accidentallywalked the house looks nice, like it

(06:27):
looks like a normal house, likeit doesn't look like well, that's a
that's a den of sin and weirdness. Just looked like any sort of split
level on any street in any townneighbors seemed to know the guy, you
know, and they knew that thehouse was owned by another family member and
that guy lived there and you know, bizarre, bizarre. That's on the
uh, that's on the north side. Sorry, I had to google go

(06:49):
ahead. Fenwick was like location wisebecause Framan is big. It's just north
of the pike on the north side, north of the Sudbury Reservoir. There
is I think there's a cemetery overthat way. Ironically there is. Yes,
yeah, well so is it closerto you or to catch me pete,
Yeah, closer to me. Infact, I think the Framingham Police

(07:10):
chief put out a statement like theysend it out on social media saying this
is an isolated incident, residents havenothing to worry. But I know,
how do they know? How dothey know? I mean, an anonymous
nine one one call that doesn't sounddoesn't call people down. No, No,
I mean you guys lock your doorsanyway, right? Oh yeah,
of course? Yeah. So Imean it's one of the if I if

(07:32):
I forget, if I've locked thedoors, I will get up out of
a deep sleep, walk down tothe door and check. I'll like turn
a little flashlight on on my phone. I have a little panic attack,
and once or twice it's been open, I've cursed my children or my husband,
and then I've gone back to bed. Yeah. Every night, before
I go upstairs, I check threedoors, the truck that's in the driveway,

(07:54):
the garage door, and the backdoor that we use to say never
forgot, No, I have no. I have left both garage door open
and the garage door entry to thehouse open unlocked. Or did you leave
the garage door is open all nighton a weekend? Woweah? Yeah?
Yeah, Well, I mean thingshappen, yeah exactly. I mean you
and I have talked about the factthat no one will steal your wife's car

(08:16):
or my car, because I mean, they could steal stuff from our cars
if we leave them unlocked in ourgarage, but they can't. Most of
the time. They're not gonna beable to steal my car because if they
can't drive stick, they're kind ofstuck. I didn't mean to say it
like that. My wife doesn't lockher car, right, I do,
because I keep you know, there'ssome stuff in there. I don't want
to make sure, like you know, I'm not going to tell you what's

(08:37):
in there. Because in't want peoplego over and try to steal it Z.
The lexweather rain on and off throughoutthe day. High's near sixty,
mostly cloudy with a brief shower totomorrow highs in the fifties. That sounds
stupid. Fifty eight degrees in Boston. I'm Heather Ford on a one hundred
point seven WUZLS, Boston's only classicrock morning show, five forty four.
Fifty eight felt a little tropical whenI walked from the back porch the track

(09:00):
in the driveway this morning. I'mtropical, Yeah, I was. I
was certainly surprised at the lack ofstanding water on the way into work.
I expected, you know, floodingwaters. Yeah, yeah, the way
they were talking about it when Iwent to bed last night, you did,
and it was pouring. When Ileft my house, we had nothing,
But then by the time I gothere it was nothing. I woke
up to the wind whipping through thewind. By the way, I love

(09:20):
your T shirt. Kenny's wearing theBronco Yeah, check it out, vintage,
the vintage Bronco throwback T shirt.It's like my but when I wore
this for the first time, Itold you my Buddy's birthday. He goes,
I knew you were getting into someweird Bronco club. No, that
was a gift from from from Pete. Yeah. Absolutely. He saw it

(09:41):
at the targ and thought, yeah, it's yeah, you know what I
got. And I don't know ifthis is a thing, but I got
a I got a Bronco wave theother day. Like jeep drivers they got
some sort of thing. Well weused to, but now that there's like
a zillion jeeps out there and there'sthe four doors, I can't imagine.
I mean, all you'd be doingis waving. This is what I got

(10:01):
from the guy coming the other way, just the two fingers up over the
steering wheel. He's, you know, riding like this. Sometimes I wave
back. Hopefully he saw it.I acknowledged him. Oh oh sorry,
I'm not used to this. Idon't know. This is a well that
I rode a motorcycle. There wasa way. Remember remember when I rode
a motorcycle. But you couldn't liftyour hand off of the down down.

(10:24):
Yeah, you still shouldn't have lifttaken your hand off the hand. No,
I shouldn't have been on a bikeat all without a license. Maybe
a trike three wheeler, right,Kenny, we lost our parlay, I
know we did, And I blamemyself because I'm telling you, I fancy
myself pretty decent at sport and uhand you know I don't gamble and wager

(10:46):
much, but it seems like whenI do it, Jinxes whatever I put
my money the last three bed MGMslike sporting events that I've put money on.
I've lost bad car, but yourbad sided not to put money on
things and then just say out outloud what I'm gonna pick. So Thankfully,
my mom's former employer, Boston Collegewas victorious and take it down Big

(11:09):
Blue in Michigan hard. So theyadvanced Saturday to the National finals in the
Frozen four. Congrats Eagles, butbe you not so forth. That was
a fun overtime though, I gottatell you, because the refs were just
letting them play. That was theonly part of the game I watched because
I was watching the Masters and Iflipped over because I saw it was one
one on my scoreboard on my phone. I'm like, oh, let's watch

(11:31):
this overtime. It was really agood overtime. Yeah, Denver ended up
victorious over bu So again. Tomorrownight is the National Final. I'm gonna
have to put that on. I'mgonna have to watch some of that for
the Eagles, number one ranked teamin the country. Future NHL stars all
over there. Yeah, yeah,it's funny. Went back during like the
Hockey EASTA tournament. I remember thecommentators saying how many of the Boston college

(11:54):
players and other college players were alreadydrafted by NHL team. Yeah, it's
true. They're just riding this outfor glory and bragging rights, and they
got some careers in the NHL comingup. Go Eagles, Yes, go

(12:35):
for making us part of your morningDeadlines with Heather Idiot. Great story,
Fine one seven WCLX Boston eighty eightrats in three hours. That's the headline
on Boston twenty five rodent killing dogsmake mark in Boston area. It's very
like gold School, right, becauseyou got rat terriers. Those are dogs

(12:56):
going out killing rats. And sothese dogs in this case, they're called,
Oh, I had the Padderdale terriers, which I wonder if this is
just a fancy name for rat terrier. And they're trained to sniff out rats
and eliminate them, and they've beenused in Boston, and I'm fascinated by
it, except if I watch thevideo. You guys have watched the video,

(13:16):
right have It's like a horror movie, it is. And I think
you just tell us what the dogsdo. They don't have to show us
what the dogs do. They totallyshowed us what the dogs did. Founder
Scott and Angie Muliney visit Boston monthlywith their dogs to serve clients and educate
people about their rodent removal technique.Yeah. See, the current record is

(13:41):
eighty eight adult rats removed in threehours with four dogs. They grabbed the
rats by the back of the neckand they give them a couple of shakes
and it severed their spinal corner.They die instantly. Our service would be
great for the Boston area. Yeah, that sounds great. That sounds wonderful.
They can scour through drop ceilings,crawl spaces and walls. This is

(14:01):
what the pest you know, take. Yes, he's got a passion for
his business though, you know anythingabout you know, like like a rat
terrier terrors in general, A lotof them tend to be This is like
a twenty pound dog. So it'sa and they were used in Cambridge and
the videos that we were looking at. So then I looked at Padderdale terrier
just to see, you know,and they're described as fearless and active,

(14:24):
you know, killing rats. Theylove to play, and they what kind
of they do well with certain kindsof children? What kind of children do
they do? Like you're thinking ofyourself, Well, I like a dog
that yeah, they do well withrespectful children. So basically, if you
have, you know, a normalchild that likes to pet a dog or
like little babies like pow pow uh, these aren't the kind of dogs that

(14:46):
you should have around tiny children.Again, because maybe they think the rats
or to they're just not kind tothe dog, Whereas my dog's every dog
I've ever had a child could goup and punch them right in their mouth
and then stick their arm in allthe way up through their elbow, and
my dogs would be like, whatyou like, they don't care. But

(15:09):
these dogs you need to have respect. Kenny brought up a good point.
You worry about these dogs getting infectedbecause you know they're roadents. See these
rats, they carry disease. Theyjust feel like, so, well,
the dogs are doing their jobs.They're inoculated. Oh, good for that.
They're vaccinated for the main diseases thatrats carry. See, and plus
they really don't they don't eat therats. They just they break their bones.

(15:30):
Yeah, but it's still enough cordSometimes I'm yeah, that's so yeah,
good for them. The dogs areprotected. Yeah. So you have
goats to kill things, or notkill things, but to mow your lawns
right, and you get chickens toeat all of the ticks on your property,
and you get Padderdale terriers to eatall the rats. Were old school,

(15:54):
I like all this. I watcheda robin pull the fattest worm out
of the ground and it was inthe afternoon. I thought they I thought
they had breakfast, isn't they early? They go all day in my yard,
Kenny. It was like the bestfishing worm I've ever seen, and
it went right into that Robinsville atall. I love they all day long.
They look like little zombies on myproperty. Every day I come home,

(16:15):
there's like fifty robins across it,just sitting there pecking looking for worms,
and they just eat all the allthe time razors. Right, one
have one rob You only have onerobin that I saw. Oh yeah,
maybe it's the kind of stuff Iuse in my lawn. Maybe not killing
all the things on the inside.I still have all the worms. The
lex weather rain on and off throughoutthe day. He in your sixty mostly

(16:38):
cloudy with a brief shower to tomorrowhighs in the fifties, fifty eight degrees

Final Pearl Jam dark Matter in theDark Day Here at ZLX one hundred POINTWZLX,
Sposton's only classic rock morning show.I want to see the Stones in
New Orleans for part of the NewOrleans Jazz Fest first weekend and May.
Of course you do when your flyawaytrip. Just open up the free iHeartRadio
apps, start listening to Zlex andyou're entered. Baby. Yeah. Imagine

(18:52):
if you have tickets to see theStones here at the end of May,
and you win that trip and getto see him down Holm and away,
right home and away. Out bullythat hey, did either of you Well,
I don't know if you were hereearly enough, Heather, But like
at four point thirty this morning,when I walked by our kitchen, Kenny,
the scent there was horrific. Somebodyhad horrific. Somebody had made something

(19:19):
like probably fish that we always talkabout. I don't have a great sense
of smell, remember, at fourpoint thirty in the morning. Yeah,
that's right, you don't. Itsmelled like something. Yeah, it smelled
like something fried. And so thatpeaud my interest. When I was coming
down the second longest hallway and thenwhen I got into the kitchen to fill
up my water, that's when thefishiness kind of hit, right, So

(19:40):
some sort of a filet of sorts. Yes, yes, do you have
the scented billboard cut by the way, Yeah you do, Okay, just
making sure, So Heather, McDonald'shas come out with us and they just
started it in the Netherlands. Thesebillboards, and you know, the McDonald's
colors basically are red and yellow yellow, you know, so they're just red
billboards. The ground level billboards aboutfive hundred yards max. From a McDonald's

(20:06):
restaurant, and these billboards emit.McDonald's smells. That's awesome. Is that
smellvision. It's you know, McDonald'samazes me because they're a multi billion dollar
corporation and they continue to innovate.Well, they have their smell down because

(20:27):
they don't have the taste down,like we're all smelling things, you know
when it comes to McDonald's, andthat kind of teases us and tricks us
into thinking what we're eating is different. Yeah right, So I mean they
should have the smell. That's greatthat they're putting it on billboards. You
could smell wherever you are now,well, here it is and I'll tell
you how they do it. Afterthis little thing from the Netherlands, McDonald's

(20:48):
restaurants in the Netherlands have debuted arevolutionary way to turn consumers onto their iconic
burgers and fries by launching the world'sfirst billboard that smells like their food.
When pedestrians pass within about fifteen feetof these logo free red and yellow billboards,
they are greeted by the distinctive scentof McDonald's fries. These old factory
salt licks are strategically placed within sixhundred yards of a McDonald's so customers can

(21:14):
follow the scent trail to the source. I'm telling you, this is genius,
I think, because you might noteven be thinking about fries or fast
food or lunch or McDonald's. Yousmell that. I'm telling you, I
don't care if somebody gets fries aroundyou, you're like, oh, I
gotta have a couple of those.I mean, there's nothing that tastes like
their fries. No, no,nowhere. I don't care. You try
to make them at home. It'snot absolutely And when they're fresh, they're

(21:36):
the best. They are, noquestion. Here's how they do it.
They actually have little ovens that keepthe food warm. They have workers come
from these restaurants within six hundred yardsand put French fries into the billboard,
and then they have a circulal systemthat emits from the billboard. It's a
genius. They use real food,oh my god, yes, yes,

(22:00):
which you'll probably attract rats eventually,and then they can marry that guy that's
coming. May not be real inthe nuggets, but they got real fries
sent spinning out of those. Giveit up for McDonald's. They just never
quit advertising. I didn't know theywere big in the Netherlands. Are you
neither? You know? I justfeel like you're probably You know those signs

(22:21):
used to see on like the McDonald'smarquees that would say like over two billion
served. That was like back inthe nineties. I wonder what that number
is up to now, because Ihaven't seen that in a long time,
the updated numbers. Yeah, howmany burgers they've served over the And because
I left my banana and my snacksat home today, now I want fries.

(22:41):

very different deaths that were talked aboutyesterday on the news. One took place
in Framingham. That was a murder. It's a murder investigation. There's a
stabbing. The other one was OJSimpson, which apparently I saw that it

(25:40):
happened, but I was able toget away or I don't follow the right
people, because Kenny said he wasinundated with like memes almost immediately about OJ
Simpson. It was like people hadhim in the chamber just ready to post
him. It was that fast.Yeah, I saw none of them.
And then when you said it thismorning, Kenny to me off air,
then I started getting them because ofcourse, oh yeah, the devices.

(26:03):
Yeah, so I started to getthat. And so he passed away.
He had cancer. Uh. Andthe other story was an investigation into a
suspicious death and an anonymous nine toone one call in Framingham. So this
was Fenwick Street. Is that yeah? From me north side, just north
of the pike now and a halffrom me. My buddy Fran lives over

(26:26):
that way. Yeah, it's prettyalarming. Eleven police cruisers were there on
the scene. A lot of thingsgoing on, and there was the thing
about it, the anonymous nine toone one call was that the person who
did the stabbing? Is that aperson who stumbled upon it. Was that
a person who heard the person whocommitted the crime say I stabbed so and
so. And it looks like areally nice house. It was a nice

(26:48):
neighborhood, good neighborhood, nice neighborhood. And you know, the police department
put out a you know, oneof those big messages on social media that
it's an isolated incident, nothing toworry about it. I mean, with
an anonymous nine you know it's isolated. Yeah, And listening to some of
the neighbors the immediate reaction after that, and they said, you know,

(27:10):
he saw eleven police cruisers there andthey weren't sure, but they thought it
was a stabbing. There were stillsome cruisers over there with their lights on.
They put up some crime scene tape. I have met the man who
was residing there, and I believehis sister also lived there or was the
owner of the home. It's justweird that they're not saying anything like I
saw this last night when it happened, because I just came home. It
sounded as if someone had gotten killed, but they weren't confirming it. But

(27:33):
they weren't telling us if anybody isbeing looked for. Sad, scary,
weird doesn't happen around it ever happensaround here. I know all my direct
neighbors, like first name, lastname, basis right, like I I
don't. I haven't lived in aplace where I didn't know who my neighbors
were for a little while. Now, like when we were in Hall there

(27:55):
were neighbors. Mostly because they wereonly there in the summer, I didn't
know who they were. I didn'tknow their name. But just to be
next door to someone and not knowin an like I mean, and there's
murder, of course you're on edge. You don't know them. The police
are telling you it's gonna be okay. Yeah, is it all right?
Anonymous nine on one calls the otherstory, Let's let's go a little happier,

(28:18):
unless, of course you're a rat. Uh. They're going old school
in pest control. And I lovethat they're doing this, except I did
not love the video they put up. So I would suggest to you,
I know everybody's like trigger warnings.You know, it's so lame. If
you don't want to see a ratI get its neck broke by a dog,
don't watch the video of the eightyeight rats killed in three hours by

(28:41):
a rodent killing machine that would bea dog while a bunch of dogs Padderdale
terriers. There is a company,unique Pest Management that goes around with dogs
like you know, rat terriers andgets rid of your pests. But they
showed a video of it and thesedogs go ham on these rats. They
take this dog and they drop itin a trash bin that has like six

(29:04):
rats. Oh like like you knowthe trash bin you rolled at the end
of your driveway in some communities,big wheelly ones. Yeah, like it's
half full and there's six rats inthere. They drop the dog in it.
It's a fish in a barrel moment. It's shooting fish in a barrel.
It's like that chaos, but theydon't need to see it. But
they're also showing them go through likea basement and taking out rats as a

(29:25):
group. Anyway, the owner youtoo, I don't know how you referred
to him, is very enthusiastic abouthis business. Yes, bcurrent record is
eighty eight adult rats removed in threehours with four dogs. They grabbed the
rats by the back of the neckand they give them a couple of shakes.
And it severs their spinal corn.They die instantly. Our service would
be great for the Boston area.Yes, Scottenanjy mulaney, And I will

(29:48):
tell you that if you love doingthis and you found a spouse that also
loves doing it, what a greatlife. Yeah. Right, you got
a bunch of killing business. Yep, Powderdale terriers killing rats. By the
way, if you were wondering ifyou should get one of these because you
have rodents in your area and youwould like I will let you know that
if you have children, it saysthey are only okay if they're raised with

(30:08):
respectful children. That means no childrenbecause kids want to pet dogs and be
around dogs tales and sometimes there's thesize of a slightly large rat, So
maybe it's not that great for well, if we've learned anything from this story,

(30:29):
it's that it's just really cool tokill rats. Yeah yeah, for
these dogs it is X. Iwonder if they have rat killing names.
I don't remember reading the names ofthe dogs that were killing the rat.
I know that in some towns andareas they have what they appoint as official
rat czars. Right, you havea lot of them. Have an ad
on your business I wonder if theyhave a ratzar. I wonder if they

(30:49):
have a scoreboard for the four dogsrats stop it zlex. Weather rain on
and off throughout the day, highsin your sixties hours, mostly cloudy with
a brief shower to tomorrow highs inthe fifties. That sounds awful. What
about Sunday, Okay, it's gonnabe a bit shoopy. You tell me

(31:11):
about Sunday because I didn't even writeSunday down. Do you know about Sunday?
Sunday's that partly Sunday? So no, no, say it in your
voice, fun day, partly fundyfifty. There you go, fifty eight
degrees of Boston. Another ford Onone hundred point seven double u z Alexe,
Boston's only classic rock morning show,seven twenty one, fifty eight degrees.
Yeah, Unfortunately, another soggy onetoday when's sweat, rain on and

(31:33):
off throughout the day. But afterwe get through today, my people,
as we get into the weekend here, things start to clear up. Things
start to get a little warmer aswell, which is going to make for
some beautiful outdoor Master's viewing on Sunday. Oh, outdoor masters view I like
that I love it. Yeah,go over to my buddy Smitty's house.

(31:55):
He brings the TV out to thepatio, fire it up at the pub.
Height table, Washington Masters outside sixtydegrees, final round stuff. Oh
man. Yesterday, after the longdelay, Masters finally got off and Bryson
Deshambo taking the early lead by onewith Scheffler nipping at his heels right behind.

(32:16):
Eight birdies and eighteen holes for Deshambo. Yeah, he was on fire
with the amazing single length chefs onhis clubs. One bogie for a seven
under. Yeah, man, itwas. It was nice though yesterday afternoon
and they finally resumed TV coverage becauseyou know, there was like no coverage
on the television. You had togo to like the app, I think,

(32:36):
to watch Masters dot com. Yeah. It's a great site. It's
got a it's got eight different camerasyou can use. Yeah, set up
your own group on it. Ohright, like you your picks. Your
team did pretty well yesterday. Yeah. And one I'm in three pools and
uh, you know you pick ateam, right, the one team,
Heather. It's got an Excel sheet. There's seventy teams in at thirty bucks

(32:59):
a sheet. So I put twoin one for the dog. I always
do that. So I'm scrolling throughthe sheet to look at the list of
teams. Right, there's seventy ofthem in there, and next to my
name is Booby Booby in dark print, b oo b y, and I'm
thinking, what does that mean?I scroll up and down to see if
anybody else has anything written like thatto the left of their name. I'm

(33:21):
the only one. And then Iremembered last year I finished in last place
in this pool and I got theBooby price. Oh oh wow, yep,
so that's a good nickname for youto have, so exactly it might
be my new name. Well,I know it's only the first round,
but the dude I picked yesterday,Hideki Matsuyama four over after the first round.

(33:42):
They date so well yesterday. Again, this is why I don't put
money on sports. But I willtell you that the long shot. Remember
I said, I'm going to justpull randomly somebody that's like three hundred to
one odds, and his name isthorbiorn Olison. He's from Denmark. He's
one of your times on the EuropeanTour. Uh. He's currently in a

(34:04):
group tied at seventeen minus one withlike Rory Tiger, like a lot of
big names are at minus one onthis sound proud of yourself? I am
I completely no again, because thenhe'll most likely lose. Tiger's got like
six holes left or something. Yeah, So they because of dark and darkness

(34:24):
they had they had to suspend playyesterday, so they'll resume this morning.
It's is it seven seven fifty?Yeah, seven fifty I think it is.
Did you see Jason Day yesterday?He's the guy from Australia. Yeah,
he made news because he wore likenineteen eighty five cocky pants, like
big baggy pants. That's what Iwas gonna mention. He had parachute pants
on. Yeah, and this windand its ants they're wrapping in the wind.

(34:45):
They're all flopping around. And thenhe pulled the old scene from Caddy
Shack where the priest is playing becausethis putt blew offline because of the wind,
and he looked at the heavens andshook his face. Yes. Yeah,
a lot of great storylines coming outof the MAS early on, but
I saw this one quote from CheeChee Rodriguez, the legendary Chee Chee.
He said the first and there's twentyfirst time players at the Masters this year.

(35:07):
I think it's a new record,right, he said the first time
he played the Masters, he wasso nervous he drank a full bottle of
rum before he teed off, andthen they asked him, well what happened?
He goes, well, I shotthe happiest eighty three of my life,
is how he responded. So yeah, with play resuming today, so
it looks like weather's going to cooperate. I know today's going to be windy,
but it looks like weather's going tocooperate over the weekend. So yeah,

(35:30):
could make for an exciting finish atthe Masters. And we know what
the Masters is, right, Atradition unlike any other the Masters. Yeah.
Well, while you're enjoying your Master'scoverage, remember you can turn your
TV volume down because you don't reallyneed that. You can turn up your
iHeartRadio, your smart speaker volumes tow Z A lax. Why because we're
going to be providing the perfect weekendsoundtrack with another double shot. Weekend kicks

(35:54):
off today at five with Chus KennyYoung, Pete McKenzie, Heather Forward.
On this Friday, I'll tell youwhat. These showers will continue on and
off throughout the day, as Isaid, but just wait till we get
to the weekend. Things will dryup a bit. Maybe you'll finally get
out there like me and do someyad work this weekend. Right, Yeah,
maybe. So. I had anexperience yesterday during my nap, okay,

(36:16):
that was very scary. Change yourlife, no, all right,
change my life. Definitely change thetrajectory of that day though. Oh idea,
what's going on with Boston's only classicrock morning show on one point seven
w z LEX. So I don'treally sometimes I nap. You guys know
this. Sometimes I don't get tonap depending on what's going on. Kids.

(36:37):
Yeah, and one of them isbusy. One of them doesn't drive
himself. Like we talked yesterday.I've had the car six weeks. It's
got four thousand miles on it.That's how much driving I do. I
do a lot of driving. SoI do get to fall asleep for a
nap. It's like three three pointthirty I think I start to fall asleep.
I fall asleep with my phone onokay, on Instagram, on reels

(36:58):
and is laying on your chest.No, no, no, it's off
to the side. It's not nearme. Apparently I rolled over and it
was the It was the one reelwith the dog going. I got a
stick and the stick is pretty andit's like a dog walking through the woods
and every time it's and I getthose because my dogs eat trees, so
I love looking at those. SoI fall asleep. I'm kind of on

(37:19):
my stomach on my side. Myleft arm, which has my Apple Watch
on it is off to the side, and no one's on the bed with
me. It's just me. Thedogs know better, Okay. So I
wake up to hear this, uh, nine one one, what's your emergency?
I'm like what And I like itdidn't click? And I looked over
and I saw my phone was onand I was like, that's not Is

(37:40):
that what this video is? Nineone one? What's your emergency? And
then I and then I hear itagain, nine one one. It's a
woman's voice, what's your emergency?And so I hear it. It's coming
from the other side of me,and I pull my arm towards me.
I notice Bishi's over there on thatside of the bed and it's my Apple
Watch. It called nine one one, because bish licked it. I don't

(38:01):
see that's the thing. And she'slike, she's like, nine don't want
a try emergency. I go,oh my god, I am so sorry.
There is no emergency. That's myApple watch. She goes, oh,
this happens, you know, blahblah blah. I was like,
oh my god. I'm like apologizingNonStop. I'm like, I can't believe
this. I'm so sorry. Itmust have been my dog. And she
goes, that's one I've never heardbefore. But in the back of my

(38:21):
mind, I'm thinking I never,like I have an alarm set to wake
up. I never, and mywatch will buzz if there's an alarm,
which I'm assuming the watch would buzzif you called nine one one to see
if it's real. I don't know. But nothing buzzed, nothing did anything
on my wrist. And my wristwas you see what I'm doing here?
Yeah? I sleep like this,like like with my arms out. So

(38:44):
I was like, oh, I'mso sorry, and she goes, is
this all right? Where do youlive? And I said where I lived?
And she goes, is this yourphone number? And I go no,
the number she said to me wasnot my phone number. Oh.
And then john Ford, my husband, he gets a thing. He calls
me right out after that, hegoes, what's wrong, what's the emergency,
because he got a buzz saying therewas an emergency from my phone in

(39:04):
our location. We have it hookedup together, Like, no, they
did not. And the phone numberthat showed up was not mine. It
showed my it showed my phone numberunderneath it, but it showed a location
on a street way away from myhouse. Wow. And it showed another
phone number, so somebody was WasI getting swatted? I don't know,

(39:25):
Like that was a weird. Idon't know either. I don't know.
And the phone just updated the nightbefore. Yeah, yeah, Like I
know my dog jumped on and hewas near my wrist. But I can't
imagine. But why are the differentphone numbers? But why the and the
area code for that phone number isthe same as mine, Like I have
a six one seven area code,which is not the area code for where

(39:47):
I live. It's just the areacode for my cell and it was one
of those, but it was seven, completely different number. And even when
I said to her, she goes, is this your number? And she
said it to me, I go, no, she goes, really,
I go, yeah, that's nothow it came up on the dispatch.
Yes, I go, no,that's not my phone number. So one
I thought I'm getting And then shegoes, she goes, all right,

(40:07):
sometimes police send someone over just tomake sure that you know this isn't you're
not trying to cover for something.I'm like, all right, I'll get
up and get out of my pajamasbecause you know, I sleep in like
Kenny, the same thing. Igo to bed in my pajamas for a
nap. So I got up andI'm like yelling at Bishy. I'm like,
thanks a lot, Ishy, youknow now I got to get up.
And so I stood outside and waited, And I'm just telling you it

(40:28):
was so weird because it wasn't mynumber. And I probably wouldn't have done
this either, asked her because shesaid she never saw that happen. But
she goes, that's weird, iswhat she said. Yeah. I probably
wouldn't have asked her either if shesaid that to me. You know,
how often does this happen? Right? Number One was at the update to
my phone? Two was I gettingswatted? Three? Like, what what

(40:49):
was happening that that was, andit only went off on my on my
watch. Nothing happened on my phone, right it was, of course my
phone was playing a reel, youknow, of a dog with a giant
sticks. And I had nothing todo with your dog. Well, I
mean he jumped on the bed likea numbskull and was laying there, and
and Dane paus or like you know, Dane punches are real. I don't

(41:09):
know if you punched my hand inhis sleep or but why a different phone
number? And why did my husbandget a thing with a different phone number
on it? It showed me inthe message, but it showed a different
phone number. Yeah, yeah,that's the question out for law enforcement right
there that you had mentioned. I'mgoing to start to get slatted. I'm

(41:31):
going to be very sad, youknow, because I don't want anybody to
think anything's going on there. Andthen, like you know, I got
big dogs. What if you thinkthere's some danger and you come into my
house and there's a big dog thatgree to you. I feel nervous from
a dog's And you don't want acouple of random cruisers to show up outside
you. Well, the police inour town are spectacular and I think they

(41:51):
all like, we're small enough thatthey probably know where I live and they
know all these things. But it'sso weird. That is bizarre. Like
when her with her saying that that'sweird, I thought, yeah, yes
it is. She had an experiencethat my poor husband had a heart attack
basically imagine jumped out of his meetingto the point that it was so fast.
Everybody around him like are you okay. He's like, I'll tell you
a bit. So yeah, thatwas yesterday. Hopefully today is more relaxing.

(42:15):
Well though today I'm not sleeping.There's no way in hell I could.
And look what's not on my wrist. I'm never putting nothing back on.
I was going to say, takethe watch out before the nap.
Oh, well I usually do,but it was but I'm not even gonna
wear it at all. I'm likedone with it no more. It's just
right. I wonder if it wasa medical emergency call, like you,
like the phone was reading no pulseor something. No, I don't think

(42:37):
that'll about the phone number. Ikeep going back. Phone number was completely
different, and even the nine oneone operator didn't know my phone number.
I had to tell her. Sheknew where I was living. She knew
my location, I think, butshe didn't know because what if you did
need emergency services and they had thewrong number and address. Yeah, I
don't know what's going on. That'sweird, right, trying to have a

(42:58):
real emergency Thank You's see if itworks. See I think I hate you.
I'm still blaming the damn eclipse,by the way, throwing everything off
into a tail spin. All right, hey, listen, this is your
final day to get into running forthose pro gam passes to the listening party
next Tuesday night, a showcase,Legacy Place and Detum. We got your
next shot coming up here at eightten this morning at ZLA from the Planet

(43:22):
Fitness WCLX Studios. Now, thanksfor making us part of your morning.
Great story, Thank god. Onone point seven WCLX, Boston. I've
been doing this radio thing for overtwenty years now, and most of that
has been with you, Pete.So I don't really remember life before that

(43:42):
professionally, except for the fact thatI was a teacher. But I do
know that I never ever would havespent any time on my computer watching Masters
play going on. And here Iam sitting with you in this room.
Kenny's doing like actual work in theother room, and you and I are
like talking Masters right, well,it it is breaking news. They're back
out on the course. Yeah,look at me. I mean, seriously,

(44:06):
who am I? This was justnever a part of where I thought
life was gonna go. It's okay. It's because when you hear the music,
it's infectious. I understand that youhear the music, you can't help
but watch it. Maybe I justit's just the only thing we talk about.
So like not being a basketball fan, yet you can't help but watch
some March Madness. You just can'thelp it. The Masters, even if

(44:27):
you're not a golf fan, youcan't help it not watch it, I
guess. Except I'm watching this onmy computer, and since I don't have
any TV, I didn't watch anyMarch Madness, So I don't even know
how all of that went. Imean, I know who won. But
so what I really wanted to talkabout this morning was what the heck is
happening in Framingham. I look atthe two men who live in Framingham,
the headline investigation into a suspicious death, and then this is the part that

(44:50):
creeps me out. An anonymous nineto one one call, which is exactly
what the killer would do. Well, I don't know. Is it the
killer, is it someone who stumbledupon the house. Is it someone who
was talking to the killer and thekiller's like, guess what I just did?
Now, don't mess with me.I don't know. I mean,
and know how you make an anonymouscalls immediately tracked? Take out your burner
phone? Oh that's right, yeah, well we do have a burner phone

(45:14):
in our house. Are you useher Apple watch? Right? Apparently it
makes nine more calls for other people, and I hope that person was okay.
So yeah, there's this investigation.It's a suspicious death. The house
looks completely normal. I mean youboth have seen it, right, it's
just a nice looking splice neighborhood inNorth Framham, in a nice neighborhood.
And then they got their trash cansout, nothing's all over the property,

(45:36):
and neighbors weren't expecting what was goingto happen here. I mean, it's
it's a lot for this tiny placeexactly. They said, you know,
they saw eleven police cruisers there.They weren't sure, but they thought it
was a stabbing. There were stillsome cruisers over there with their lights on.
They put up some crime scene tape. I have met the man who
was residing there, and I believehis sister also lived there or was there

(46:00):
if the home. It's just weirdthat they're not saying anything like I saw
this last night when it happened,because I just came home. It sounded
as if someone had gotten killed,but they weren't confirming it. But they
weren't telling us if anybody is beinglooked for. Sad, scary, weird,
it doesn't happen around here. I'mglad they said that there's nothing to
worry about, but unless things areexplained, people will just worry. Yeah,

(46:21):
they can put out all the messagesthey want. I think the police
department did on social media. Butyou're still I mean, it's a mystery
that somebody was stabbed in that neighborhood. You have a friend around there too,
Yeah, I mean I wouldn't I'dbe concerned, right, Yeah,
exactly. Also, uneasy rats inCambridge where Wow, look at that connection
I just made. It's not reallyThe headline is eighty eight rats in three

(46:45):
hours. Oh, not eaten bypeople, but rilled killed by dogs and
a company called unique pest management.They're based in Washington, d C.
Which use especially trained Padderdale Terrier dogsto sniff out rats and eliminate them.
If you were the kind of personthat does not want to see a bunch
of dogs go ham on some ratsand rip them to shreds, don't look

(47:08):
for this story because that's exactly whatthey show you from the news. They
show you these dogs going after therats. I mean rat terriers. I
mean, we have all and theylook like These dogs look exactly like you
think they do. But when youasked the question I googled do Padderdale Terriers
make great pets? It said sure, but only if you have respectful children,

(47:31):
which means no tail pulling, noear pulling, no padding, no
staring, don't make eye contact.I mean, they're very good dogs.
No toddlers, nothing that looks likeit could be a giant rat. Babies
kind of have that look to them. They're just kind of more aristocratic kids
you could get. I doubt it. They probably are the worst ones.

(47:52):
Anyway. So the owner and hiswife, they own this company together.
I will tell you that the twogentlemen that I work with, this man
entertaining, he's entertaining, and Isay that he is just really really into
killing rats. Current record is eightyeight adult rats removed in three hours with

(48:12):
four dogs. They grabbed the ratsby the back of the neck and they
give them a couple of shakes andits severed their spinal cord and they die
instantly. Our service would be greatfor the Boston area. Now why would
you thinking? What? Why doyou think that we find him entertaining?
Listen, trying to provide a certainsubstance in service. Fact that you two
can do that just so easily.I couldn't do that if I tried.

(48:36):
He had a passion for his work. Rat Is that who it sounds like
to you? Okay, I wasjust checking anyway. You also offers These
two were also entertained. But isthe rats are the rats are of Cambridge?
Yeah it is. Cambridge has aratsar. I'm sure Boston has a
rats are too. Someone to takecare of the vermin. But they these

(48:57):
two loved this man's quote so much. They were like, we need to
drop this wherever we can. Youknow what the so this other dude uses
dogs, you know what the Cambridgerats are uses? No, he uses
these electrified boxes so that the ratsgo in but they don't check out.
It's kind of like Hotel California orthe Roach Motel. Sounds the rats go
in and when they go in there, they get zapped electronically and they're like,

(49:20):
you know, suspended animation, leadingto the Ratsar of Cambridge to declare,
it's just really cool to kill rats. Yeah. The Alex Weather horain
on and off through all the day. Highs near sixty, mostly claudy,
with a brief shower to tomorrow.It sounds lovely. High's in the fifties,
fifty eight degrees in Boston. I'mheather Ford on a one hundred point
seven US. Anyway, I seethe rats again. Go get the za,

(49:45):
hey, Pete, go call theza We got to get rid of
these rats. Where's the za Hey, where's your next pair of tickets for
that Pearl Jam listening party we've beengiven away all week? Well, they're
coming up right after Guns N' Roseshere one hundred point seven w z LX,
Boston's only classic rock morning show.Tried to get that in before the

(50:08):
grinders out there in the construction site. It's a twenty three Kenny Young.
Pete McKenzie heather Ford. Yeah,there seemed to be a little, a
little friction out there in the workzone today. Yeah, they've been under
construction outside of our studios here andI know a couple of contractors there,
a little back and forth, littletet a la tete going on. Well,

(50:30):
you know, I mean, maybethe project has a deadline and it's
fast approaching, timbers are running hot, could be, I don't know,
and it's very quiet out there.Otherwise, like I thought, maybe they'd
have like a job site radio onethey could listen to Zlex as they're working
away there. But they're far toobusy for these matters. We have to
adjust to the matter that will beMarathon Monday here with street closures and preparations

(50:52):
all weekend, busy airports, busytransportation exactly. I've already seen the porta
potties out on maps near the raceroute and around because I live south of
the Race route. So Monday's commutehome is always fun because I have to
go about twenty to thirty minutes outof my way and then come back up
the south side to get to whereI live because I'm south of one thirty

(51:13):
five there. So but Hey,good luck to all those runners. They're
going to be gearing up for Monday. Yeah. I took an elevator ride
yesterday with our colleague in the building, Billy from Kiss and you know,
we're making some small talk about theweather and such, and I mentioned,
you know, Monday looks looks goodfor the runners. I said, with

(51:36):
a question mark. I don't know. I'm not a runner. And of
course, Billy, you know,how many times do you think he's run
the marathon? I hope it's zero? It better be zero. He doesn't
run the marathon? Has he eleventimes? According to Billy? He's running
there, Randon, I'm eleven times? I mean, is he just throwing
that out there? I don't know. Is that I wanted you to say

(52:00):
zero? I did. I wantedhim to say zero too, But no,
he's run it eleven times. Iguess I didn't question that. I
mean I should I have. Idon't know. Probably not. He's not
lying. I mean, I knowthere's some, you know, radio personalities
that have done that in the city. We will never be one of them,
No, I can tell you that. And I always applaud anybody who

(52:24):
finishes a marathon. If you ifyou're going twenty six miles and you're only
running a third of it, Idon't care you went twenty six miles.
Yeah, I also agree, andthat's pretty amazing. So I guess this
year's is this different? With restaurantsalong the way along the route in the
area offering specials, providing different fooditems for that are runner specific. Haven't

(52:50):

Ten am this morning, one hundredpointsn WZLAX, Boston's only classic rock

(59:10):
morning show. Little Footnote Metallica history. I believe it was either today,
today or tomorrow anyway, until theofficial paperwork was filed in the year two
thousand. Metallica famously filed suit againstNapster USC Yale and there was one more
college too that was one of thefirst to launch Napster back in the file

(59:32):
sharing service in an attempt to blockover three hundred thousand users for illegally swapping
Metallica songs on Napster. This waslike the very birth of file sharing on
the Worldwide Internet webs and it wasa big deal at the time. I
mean, you know, from alegal standpoint, because you know, Lars

(59:53):
Ulric and company were like, hey, if we wanted to give our music
away for free, we would have. But you know, I remember remember
at the time thinking too, thisisn't a lot different from when we were
kids and we would use the doublecassette decks and like you might have a
copy of like the new Van Halenor something, and I'd say, well,
I haven't bought it yet. You'dsay, here, you can,

(01:00:14):
you know, copy mine, andyou could go from one cassette to the
other, right, yeah, becauseyou had cassette decks with two decks in
it. That's right, that's right. Is it live or is it memorys?
And so like, I mean,I don't know about you guys.
But my friends and I used toshare and swap cassettes all the time and
share music. Not to mention theage old practice of having that pause and

(01:00:34):
record button, taping songs off theradio right off the radio. That went
on for decades. But then loand behold in the spring of two thousand,
metallicas that that's enough is enough,this is it. Well, I
remember the whole napster thing. Mydaughter was like nine or ten years old
at the time, and we youknow, we had to explain to her,
you can't use that anymore. It'syeah, it's illegal. It's illegal.

(01:00:55):
It's been determined to be illegal.You can Oh, no, what
am I going to do for mymusic? Yeah, copyright infringement, Well,

folks at a place called Empire Loan. They have several locations around the area.
Oh yeah, it was a littleWendy's Breakfast office party that we're doing
with WZLX. And met some greatpeople up there. And I didn't realize

(01:02:45):
that Empire a loan. I didn'tknow what it was. I thought it
was a loan office, but it'sit's more of a pawn a pawn shop.
Yeah, yeah, it's cool.So I'm walking around the place,
you know, talking to some otherpeople, and I'm looking at some of
the merchandise. I spot something thatI'm interested in at Empire Loan up in.
Was it a velvet Elvis? Wasn'ta velvet Elvis? So I talked

(01:03:09):
to Rob, who was kind ofrunning the store up there. All I
got Rob here from Empire alone andnice visit this morning. We had some
Wendy's breakfast delicious. It was fantastic, you know that was going to be
my first question. How are thosebreakfast burritos you've been touting. By the
time I got there, Kenny theopposite eating them all. I did get
some French toast sticks because I heardyour non on something right there. I

(01:03:30):
think we're still finishing our last mouthfuls. Yeah. Absolutely, I have business
to take care of because I wouldlike to own a piece of gold.
You sell gold. They call thisa gold bar. It is a gold
bar. Tell me how much itweighs. It's a graham one grand bar.
Graham? What is that in English? As far as the bounces go,

(01:03:51):
I'd have to do the math.You clearly don't buy drugs, Pete.
Thirty one ounces. Thirty one gramsis an ounce and it's one gram.
Yes, wow, that's tiny.You can't call that a bar.
It's a tab. It's a tab. Well, if you put your hand

(01:04:11):
on it, you could bend itpretty easily. My guaranteed, because I
want to buy it. But you'rehere to tell me that that's a good
price on that size of a goldbar. It is a great price,
especially with the gold market right now. Absolutely all right, I will I
will take it at eighty sandwiches onepiece of gold from Empire loan. Perfect.
I keep you in business, yes, thank you, We keep it
going, buddy. Absolutely. Howmany? How many locations? So we

(01:04:34):
have eight locations, six in Massachusettsand two in Rhode Island. All right,
you head up the whole operation,not me, No, that would
be that would be our owner,Michael Goldstein. Yeah, but we're hearing
loll seven thirty one lake you haveand ch ching Mackenzie owns gold and like

(01:04:54):
the feel of gold. Yes,when I say howether it's a tab,
it's more like a flake of gold, right, Like I didn't even want
to bring it in right because I'mafraid I'd lose it. It's so tiny
you lose. Kevin buy gold orsilver from costcost something right before he passed.
He did you know read I readsome full ounce. I read something
about the Costco gold and they,you know, by selling their pieces of

(01:05:16):
gold through Costco. Wasn't it somethingcrazy like two or three hundred million dollars
that Costco two hundred million a month, Kenny two a month, two hundred
million a month. Holy, they'remaking in gold selling gold. It's bigger
than the flake that you bought,right, Oh yeah, yeah, like,
I think what Kevin bought from Costcowas the ounce bars that they're selling,
which is thirty two times bigger thanwhat I bought yesterday. So multiply

(01:05:43):
thirty two times eighty that's where youget the twenty four hundred dollars an ounce.
I don't know if all babies atCatholic baptisms are given the same thing.
I was baptized Catholic and I haveI still have it. It's a
it's an ounce, it's a silverbar, and it's got you know,
some religious picture engraved onto the frontof it. It's kept in a special

(01:06:05):
pouch. My mother gave it tome when I was eighteen. She goes,
here, you go, I've beenholding onto this and I'm like,
and she's mentioned some relative that gaveit to her for me at my baptism.
Yeah, and that's the only Andit's a silver bar. It's the
only thing I have similar to Ithink I got. Yes. But you're

(01:06:25):
into gold now, you're a goldowner. So look at your pinky nail.
It's about that size. That's theflake of gold. I'm not kidding
you. I said, through awhole lot safer with gold. I guess
so it's gold it's gold Well,Pete, I think there's only one thing
left to do, and that's toget you a a gold emblazoned jersey or

(01:06:48):
jacket with your new your new nicknameon the back. I thought you were
